I have lowering springs in but the front is still slightly higher I was wondering wat I could do to lower it I want to stop the front end from raising too any tips or tricks does camber plates lower the front or changing to a different strut that is much stiffer and is there some type of spring compressors that help lower or stiffen up the front thanx

cc plates help with alignment angles. You can get shorter springs in the front and as far as I know struts will accommodate for length for the specific car there made for. So get smaller springs that are lowering specific

No. I believe the only difference on the 4 banger is the springs, spindles, and brakes, the rest is the same

the best way to get the stance/ride you want is to go with coil overs.
I went thru 2 sets of H&R springs to get the right stance and it still was not right. Went with coil overs an and got the stance I wanted first time out.

+1, now that I got coilovers don't think I'd ever go back to springs on any car
